37. Hey Jasper,
Thank you for your email! I’m always glad to hear from you.
You asked me about travelling. I dream of travelling through Europe to explore different countries and their cultures. It would be nice to take my boyfriend with me. And for the most difficult thing… For me, it’s probably the need to communicate with foreign people. I’m not sure that my English level is enough!
You also mentioned your sister. What is her name? How old is she? Is she happy to get married?
I hope you’ll tell me all about it. Write back soon, okay?
est wishes,
Aisylu
38. These days, young people love reading and discussing books. While doing a project on what literary genres are popular among Zetland teenagers, I found an opinion poll on the same topic. In this essay, I am going to analyze this information and give my opinion on the subject of my project.
The results contained in the table reveal that the most widespread option for teenagers is fantasy (30%). A quarter of the respondents (25%) enjoy science fiction. The percentage of those who read other modern literature is 15%.
It is also worth mentioning that the number of the teenagers who chose detective, war and spy stories (20%) is twice as much as the number of those who prefer classical literature (10%). The possible reason for that is the complexity of classical books. Most adolescents want to read about exciting adventures in a simple style, therefore classical literature seems boring to them.
It is also important to emphasize some issues that can arise with reading. One of them is the high price of books. A way of solving this problem is for people to borrow books from the library. It is also possible to find books on the Internet for free.
In conclusion, I would like to say that reading is necessary for a teenager. Books help to expand horizons and understand the world better. Moreover, reading improves imagination and makes a person more creative.
… My friends have just come back from a trip to Africa. It’s been my dream for years! What is your dream trip, where would you like to go and why? Whom would you like to take with you? What is the most difficult thing for you when you travel?
My sister is getting married …
